Q & A post

Since there are new folks visiting our blog this week from Give1Save1, we're doing a short and quick Q&A post.

How and when did Matt and Ashleigh meet? 
  •  We met when we were 15 years old while we were both campers at Horton Haven Christian Camp in Lewisburg, TN, which was about an hour away from where we were living at the time.  Little did we know we lived 10 minutes apart or so from each other.  Since we lived barely across the county line from each other we went to separate high schools.  

How long have you been married?
  • We have been married for 18 years.  We married very young and then we waited for Ashleigh to finish pharmacy school and residency before we started our family.  (For those doing the math, we were married when we were 12 ;).

Why are you adopting and how did you choose China?

What is a little known talent of Matt?

  • He can wiggle his ears!  Seriously!  

What do the boys think of their little sister coming?
  • I think the big boys were almost to the point they thought it would never happen.  Aidan (8) has heard his whole life about a baby sister in China.  Then, every time we thought we were next for a referral, it was delayed.  So, when it actually happened they were super pumped!  Now, they talk about her all the time - even little Tru!
Are you ready for your trip?
  • Not at all!  It will take us weeks to prepare and pack for the 4 of us to travel for over 2 weeks to China.   There are so many details and so much we need to take care of!  We need to really get moving on figuring out everything since we plan to travel in mid October.  We're in the research phase right now - figuring out things like what we need as far as supplies, phones, converters, access to internet so we can update family at home and check on little Tru since he'll be here with grandparents, etc, etc.   


Thanks for visiting!
